I'm bad at keeping track of the cyclical tasks like cutting your nails so I always cut them really short and then let them grow out for weeks until I cut them again. But the transition from long nails to very short is so so satisfying to me. My hands feel so functional and like my own. I like typing without feeling my nails. Being able to do things with my hands without subconsciously worrying / being aware of my nails. It's just a beautiful feeling, childishly joyful in some type of way.

i always forget about toenails until they get so long i can’t stand it and then cutting them feels amazing and the toenail clippings are big and satisfying crescents

I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and I wanted to stop but needed a creative way to do it. So I decided to make them an art project. It helps me not bite them because I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I’ve done. I have to keep up with them and sharpen them about once a week. It also makes it easier to open packages, which is great.

When the nail polish is drying and everything you touch is suddenly delicate and fragile. Turning the doorknob more carefully than you ever have before. Pinching the light switch between your thumb and your pointer to turn it on. Typing on your phone with tender precision. Checking on each nail like a newborn, making sure you didn't accidentally hurt one. It makes me kinda anxious but I’m starting to see it as therapeutic. Like a pausing point.

It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
